Fire Damages Repair Shop

DIGEST

Division Chief Keith Allen said the fire began at 7:11 p.m. in the back of Bob`s News Rack Repair, 724 NW Seventh Ave.

Three pumpers and a rescue vehicle responded. There were no injuries. A damage estimate was not immediately available, but Allen said the rear of the paint shop may have been structurally damaged. An inspector was trying to determine the cause of the blaze.

Allen said a water pipe that burst in the rear of the building kept the fire in check until firefighters could force their way into the shop and put out the blaze.
